Dr. Manne has written a well-researched, reader-friendly book on misogyny, the content of which should be included as core curriculum in middle schools. Dr. Manne addresses several limitations (who can cover everything in one book?) to her thesis such as misogynoir, equal rights for transwomen, etc., but has more than sufficiently researched and defended her argument regarding misogyny. She examines misogyny as the enduring traditions, customs and actions that signal women to “stay in their lane” and not compete for roles, jobs, titles or the economics traditionally retained by men. Identifying misogyny as the COSTS women bear and not the MOTIVES of the men involved was one of the significant takeaways for me.
Like Prof. Manne, I agree dehumanisation (depriving a person of human qualities, instead attributing animal-like qualities to them) is not the main mechanism of misogyny, but it certainly is one practice that will signal misogyny is at work to keep women in their lane (note the terms men use when discussing women’s sexuality, particularly when women’s choices are seen as ‘outside their lane’).
I originally bought this book as the Audible version but added the paper book to mark vital passages for further reference. You won’t be sorry you purchased this book.
